Israel markets itself as a global leader in counter terrorism and counterinsurgency, but it can only do so, claim the Haverford College-sponsored speakers - because they use the "West Bank" and Gaza as labs and the Arabs as their lab rats

Haverford College sponsored a leg of the fundraising tour for Anarchists Against the Wall on Nov. 24, 2013

At the close of the presentation one of the students in the audience asked whether the speakers thought their presentation was likely to “make students more hopeful towards finding a solution, or feel more rage, more anger towards one side.”

That was a question aimed directly at the mission of the Haverford Center for Peace.

But Wind missed the softball. Her response was that although there may be two sides to most stories, just as with the Jim Crow laws in the American South, or with Apartheid South Africa, “one side doesn’t have such a good case.”

In other words, Israel is beyond the pale. And, not surprisingly, both speakers adamantly support the economic and legal warfare movement against Israel known as the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement. They also both reject the Two States idea and instead hope to see Israel become “one secular, democratic state.” Wind acknowledged that Jews would become a minority in such a state.

“So what? Jews live very nicely as minorities elsewhere, such as in Iran, Jews are a little people, they’re going to have to get used to minority status.”

After sharing their fantasies and fabrications with the Haverford College crowd, Efrati and Wind went on to the University of Pennsylvania where they spoke Monday evening. Next up on their dance card is the University of Maryland on Dec. 2, and American University on Dec. 4. Their fundraising tour continues throughout the U.S. into this spring.

Parker Snow, executive director of the Haverford Center for Peace and Global Citizenship, failed to return numerous phone calls from The Jewish Press on Monday.

Martin Kramer:
Gaza is a place with no Israeli settlements, from which Israel has totally withdrawn to the 1967 lines, and which nonetheless has become a Hamas terror state. That’s what happens in conditions of Gazafication. So when people say that in a two-state solution, Palestinians would have a “right of return” to the West Bank and not Israel, I do not find that particularly reassuring either. Any influx of Palestinians across the Jordan poses a problem for Israel, and it is naive to dismiss it. I would like to hear how, in a two-state scenario, Gazafication of the West Bank can be prevented. I haven’t heard it yet.

Neither have I.

Read The Haj by Leon Uris. And ask these questions:

What year did the nation of Palestine come into existance?
What were its national borders and what year did it cease to exist?
What currency did the nation of Palestine use and why is there no history of it?
Name one leader to the “nation of Palestine” prior to Yasser Arafat.

Jews live very nicely as minorities elsewhere,
indeed very nicley until they were massacared in muslim countries as well. not forgetting they were 2nd rate citizents in countries like Iran. Not frogetting that out of 150,000 Jews in Iran there are less than 10,000 todaty, I guess all those that left didn;t agree with Wind.

Marucs' bio states she's a 'recovered lawyer'… I guess that means she's officially divorced herself from needing to deal with the truth of any given situation. Otherwise, her review would have been more praiseworthy of two young men who've shaken off the shackles of ethnosupremacy and now view themselves as citizens of the same world everyone else inhabits.

Gee Yechiel, the Germans said the same of the Jews, the right-wingers here say the same thing about Hispanic immigrants, the Myanmar Buddhists say the same about the Rohingya Muslims… you sure keep interesting company.
